went down. mitt romney says we didn't add as many jobs and more people dropped out of the work force. what if that is not true the number went up not down. back with more after the break. commentary. >> the idea that he could criticize the president on the down grading, when he led the charge to block a resolution. outrageous. (vo) the only network with real-time reaction straight from the campaigns and from viewers like you. >>now that's politically direct.

good jabs and taken romney down. if he would have called him out even like romney said the thing about sending jobs overseas romney said i have been in business 25 years. i have no idea what you are talking about, maybe i need a new accountant. i wanted him to say oh so you would have taken that deduction. and obama could have turned to help out the people running for senate and house. >> stephanie: all right. could have should have would have -- >> i know. >> next week's format is townhall and obama really shines in that format. >> stephanie: my favorite post of rude this week is entitled simply "paul ryan is a little bitch." >> isn't that wonderful edsy. [ buzzer ] >> stephanie: you wrote paul ryan appeared on fox, quote, unquote, news ryan was there because at in point in the election cycle, romney's job is to be the little bitch. [ applause ] >> stephanie: he's true. he is a little high pitched already, isn't he? >> he is. and that's what is going to be fun. i hope they release the biden on on thursday night. just tell him, you know what joe, just take this punk down. >> stephanie:

republicans. mitt romney can't figure out which side of the debate to come down on like you saw in his speech yesterday and the six attempts before that. the guy doesn't understand the world as it exists today. >> stephanie: right. well, yeah i think madeline albright referred to him calling russia the number one foe. he said in europe where putin's russia cast a long shadow over american policy. madeline said of the various weird things that romney said his position on russia is truly out of date. >> yeah, those parts of the speech were from the height of the cold war, and apparently nobody told romney that the century changed. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: but as usual, and this goes to foreign and domestic policies you know, there is no specifics. again madeline albright said i just find him very shallow. i'm a professor if one of my students turned that in he would get a c because he gave absolutely no specifics. >> yeah it's a vacuous set of talking points. it's not even -- the dull phrase that you complain in poetry and govern in prose, it's not even particularly good poetry and whe

drink. yeah, we get it! the debates will come down to a few key sound bytes romney has been memorizing and practicing. >> oh, god. >> stephanie: a series of zingers that his team has written for him. >> two peanuts were walking down the street and one of them had salt on it. [ crickets chirping ] no. >> stephanie: romney has practiced delivering the lines on aides since august. aides who presumably are paid to laugh at the same line. oh my god, that was better. by the way nothing like repetition to make it funny. seamless delivery already. sidesplitting but then if you've heard it like the tenth time. there was a story about how much he pays his aides. obama's staff is like -- twice the size. and now i understand why romney's overpaying. he's a, not a very good businessman and b, because they have to listen to the same stupid jokes over and over. >> a horse with a long face walks into a bar and the bartender says why are you here? [ crickets chirping ] >> stephanie: no, mitt. why do you think it's comedy my fair lady. no! oh god. >> the guy walks into a bar with a parrot on

cut down to two days and literally 200 people showed up demanding that the library be opened back up to five days a week. and the old people get their food. >> stephanie: yeah romney and ryan think that the old people are just hogging all of the food. and i think we need the library to stay open longer you know why? so people can pronounce it library. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] >> stephanie: he seemed lovely though. 58 minutes after the hour. right back on the "stephanie miller show." ♪ street corner. [♪ theme music ♪] >> stephanie: hello, current tvland. hello birthday girl. ♪ you say it's your birthday ♪ >> stephanie: it's jacki schechner's birthday! >> i have no shame when it comes to my birthday. i'm one of those people that tells everybody the week before, still celebrating the week after, it's all about me today. >> stephanie: the whole audience in seattle burst into happy birthday to me, and i was like how did you know? >> steph and i are doing a secret santa birthday gift exchange tomorrow. >> stephanie: what i got jacki schechner adorbs. it's very cute. >> did

is right in complaining because obama's got stephanie cutter and romney's got eric fehrnstrom. it really isn't fair. the ok'd thing is mitt romney there, please? >> that depends. which one do you want? >> caller: i was just curious how it is going to feel to go down in history as the first presidential candidate to lose four states in massachusetts hirsch and virginia. -- michigan and virginia. >> look at the time. >> stephanie: okay. must take interviews. >> >> stephanie: david in colorado. >> just the right height. >> hi, how are you? >> stephanie: hi david welcome. >> caller: i want to make a comment on -- when obama said the private sector is doing fine well, the jobs may not have been doing fine but profits of corporations are higher than ever. >> stephanie: yep. >> caller: corporate welfare. >> stephanie: the stock market has doubled under obama. >> he got a $4 billion refund. no complaints about that. when i was younger and i grew up -- >> they're job creators. >> healthcare and we had a 401(k) to put money in. not likely to get all much back. they were like oh, well, we're

late? >> i think he got bogged down in the weeds. and he had trouble explaining where mitt romney was lying. i think there are easy ways to relate to people when it comes to how you talk about health care, because everybody has a personal experience that they can relate to. so i don't know why he personally has so much difficulty but that was a perfect opportunity to slam him on that lie. >> it seemed like they were playing by different rules. >> yeah. >> and i do think the cut a ways didn't do romney any good. he did look smug and smirking and it was really obnoxious the look on his face. i know people are saying that the president was looking down a lot -- >> it looked like he was trying to give everyone a haircut. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: that's congress women degette just said all of the women in the hall did not have a good reaction to romney's behavior. >> he was snide and smug but again he had a lot of time to practice for this. >> stephanie: yeah, and the president had to be president. romney -- i was like oh my god, the health care those are like the health care letters we
